$199 per hour shop labor rate
I was floored today while at General RV. Their new 2018 labor rate charged is $ 199 hr. I had to look twice. It goes up every year. 5 hours working on your rig ... $1000 bucks, not including parts.

And the "tech" is getting what, about $12 to $19 and poor benefits.
I guess that would depend entirely on the region. I know for a fact that in the Michigan and Ohio region, qualified ASC certified technicians get between 20 and 30 bucks an hour, depending on experience and qualifications plus benefits. It's a very competitive market.
Are you talking RV dealers or mechanical, engine, trans,etc? 90 % of the time I've had to return our rig to General RV as they've many times damaged something unrelated to the initial service.
My engine and Chassis are all done by Cummin Bridgeway. I have no complaints about them and their service is great.
I'm referring to the mechanical aspects, not the house systems and General tends to ship their units down to Freightliner (Valley) for mechanical (engine / drivetrain / electrical and emissions issues.
